Faith
from Texas

Texas Adoption Exchange

Faith?EUR(TM)s ray of sunshine seems
to spread to others naturally, despite being a bit bashful. Her
caseworker calls her a caring and loving little girl and said,
?EURoeFaith is a breath of fresh air. She is very
reserved and guarded." Faith is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. She likes a
routine schedule. For example, she has to watch
?EURoePeppa Pig?EUR while playing with her
dolls every day. Faith is very quiet and shy at times. Despite
this, she will sing and dance with no problem. This is something
she loves to do. Faith also loves riding her bicycle and playing
with her friends at school. She looks forward to spending time and
doing activities with her foster family, especially females. Faith
speaks often about wanting a sister and she enjoys interactions
with her foster sisters. She sometimes experiences mood changes,
but she is learning ways to process her feelings and develop better
coping skills. In school, Faith will continue to benefit from
support to help her do her best in every area.

Faith will do best with two parents and
siblings, especially sisters, close to her age. It will be best for
Faith to be the youngest child in the home. Her parents should have
experiences they can add to her life to help her thrive. Her
forever family will provide unconditional love and treat Faith as
part of the family. Ideally, Faith will have siblings who can
assist her in developing socially and cognitively. Female siblings
in particular may help with the bonding process.
Faith?EUR(TM)s parents need to be strong advocates for
her to help her excel at home, in school, and in life.
